The Big Hug

Well we got through "The Big Hug." That's the term used at North Greenville University for the last goodbye we parents have to give our kids at their dorm. We had a day full of orientation activities; I appeciate NGU for letting us work our way into letting-go slowly. We've heard from Andrew today, and all seems to be going fairly well. If he can get his Internet running, I think he'll be o.k.

Lesa did pretty well--not too many tears, although I could have missed some when I left her alone. Today has been a bit dreary both in weather and in our overall attitudes, but I know we'll be fine too. We look forward to attending the NGU Crusade this week, so we'll get a first hand look on how things are really going.

We've got to get through another big day on Thursday--Stephanie's first day at Greer High School. I'm sure we'll have another emotional buildup to that. Stay tuned!

Tell Lesa it will wear off...soon she will be saying, is Andrew back home again "raiding" the refrigerator and having Mom do his laundry. Tell Stephanie going to a new school is like jumping into Lake Granbury...scary at first,but after you jump in,you find it fun.
